Kansas Junior Sheep Producer Day

The 2022 Kansas Junior Sheep Producer Day is scheduled for Saturday, March 19. We are excited to return to in-person programming for the KSU junior producer day events! Junior Sheep Producer Day will be hosted in Weber Hall on the K-State campus in Manhattan. This event is a one-day educational opportunity for families to learn about the selection and management of their sheep project. Youth, parents, extension agents, project leaders, and volunteers of all skill levels are invited to attend. Presentations will be provided by K-State faculty, staff, students, extension agents, and our guest speaker, Payton Dahmer. Topics range from selection, to nutrition, to reproduction, meat science, and showmanship.

The deadline to register is February 25. All attendees must register, including youth and adults. The cost is $15/person by February 25, or $20/person after the deadline. Only those registrations received by the deadline will receive a t-shirt. Visit http://bit.ly/ksujrproducerdays to register online and view the flyer, which includes the tentative schedule.

An optional instructor-led YQCA training and state livestock nomination process session will be held at the conclusion of the program for those interested.

K-State COVID-19 protocols in effect at the time of the event will be followed. Registration is non-refundable.
